Before renewing Microsoft 365, review what staff actually use

The Next Device22 September 2026

The lowest licence price is not always the best outcome. Before changing a Microsoft 365 plan, check which features people use and which security controls the business needs.

Review assignments

List active users, shared accounts and current licences. Identify people whose role has changed and accounts that are no longer required.

Check dependencies

Confirm the email, device management, identity and security features in use. A cheaper licence may remove a feature your team depends on, while a more suitable combination may reduce unnecessary spend.

Make changes carefully

Document the proposed changes and test them with a small group. Review billing terms and the impact on users before making broad changes.
